Description
When I tell people about grants they could get to help fund work on open source software projects, sometimes they are surprised because they didn't know such grants existed. I share:
- sample foundations and funders (such as Mozilla, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, NLNet, and Comcast) who want to fund open source software projects, and how much they're paying out
- a quick case study on how the Python Software Foundation got funding from Open Tech Fund to improve security, accessibility, and localization for PyPI
- key steps in figuring out a good project idea, budgeting, hiring, and submitting
- how the new Project Funding Working Group at the PSF can help you along the way
